Buckie Jobcentre Plus Contact and Location Details
- Office name: Buckie Jobcentre Plus
- Area: Buckie, Moray, Scotland
- Visitor address: Shanks Lane, Buckie, AB56 1AF
- Existing JSA, ESA or Incapacity Benefit claims: 0800 169 0310
- New Style JSA claims: 0800 055 6688
- Direct office number: A current direct Buckie reception number was not found from the sources checked. The numbers above are national Jobcentre Plus contact lines rather than a local switchboard.
- Official contact route: GOV.UK Jobcentre Plus contact guidance
- Official office search: Find your nearest Jobcentre Plus office
- Address source: The Shanks Lane address and postcode are listed by Turn2us and in the published DWP Jobcentre estate record.
Address check: The map targets Shanks Lane and postcode AB56 1AF. One premises directory describes the same postcode location as East Cathcart Street, so visitors should follow the address and entrance information shown in their DWP appointment message.
Visit Status and Listed Hours
Visit status: Turn2us lists the Buckie office as available from 09:00 to 17:00, Monday to Friday. These are source-listed hours rather than a separate opening-hours notice issued by DWP. Office access, appointment arrangements and Scottish public holiday hours may change, so use the instructions attached to your appointment before setting out.
Office-specific note: Buckie Jobcentre Plus is in the Moray town of Buckie, not in Aberdeen city. Stagecoach lists Shanks Lane as a stop on the 35 and X35 corridor linking Buckie with Elgin and Aberdeen, but travellers starting in Aberdeen should allow for a regional journey rather than treating this as an Aberdeen neighbourhood office.
Accessibility Information
Entrance and floor
Turn2us lists a level entrance and describes the public-facing office as being on the ground floor.
Facilities
Full wheelchair access, an accessible toilet and a loop system are included in the public directory entry.
Additional access
The same listing states that access to signers can be arranged by appointment and identifies a public car park approximately 20 metres away.
Accessibility arrangements can be affected by temporary building conditions. Mention any access or communication requirement when DWP contacts you about the visit.
Public Transport at Shanks Lane
Shanks Lane is a named Buckie bus stop rather than an approximate town-centre reference. Published Stagecoach timetables show services calling there on journeys involving Elgin, Fochabers, Portgordon, Banff and Aberdeen. This can make the stop useful for visitors arriving from elsewhere in Moray or along the Aberdeenshire coastal route.
Bus routes and departure times can be amended at short notice. Check the live operator information for the date of the appointment, particularly when travelling from Aberdeen or making a connection in Elgin.
Address and Source Differences
Main address used on this page: Shanks Lane, Buckie, AB56 1AF.
Why this address is used: It appears in the Turn2us Buckie entry and in the DWP estate document that recorded the office for retention.
Alternative street wording found: A facilities directory uses “East Cathcart Street, Buckie, AB56 1AF”. This appears to refer to the same postcode location rather than a confirmed relocation.
Postal warning: Do not assume that the visitor address is the correct address for sending benefit forms or evidence. DWP may direct correspondence to a central mail-handling site, and the address on the relevant official letter should be followed.
Appointment and Visit Notes
For a Universal Credit appointment, use the message in your online account to check the date, time and required action. GOV.UK directs Universal Credit users to their account when they need to change or cancel an appointment. Other Jobcentre appointments can be discussed through the official contact route or the telephone number given in the appointment notice.
Do not rely on an unconfirmed walk-in visit. Take only documents that DWP has asked you to provide, and keep original documents secure while travelling.
Do not send a National Insurance number, benefit claim number, Universal Credit login, bank details, password, identity documents or medical records to Benefit Office Finder UK or another unofficial directory.
Nearby Jobcentre Offices
Other publicly listed offices in the wider area include:

- Banff Jobcentre Plus
Buckie residents should not assume that an Aberdeen office is their assigned alternative simply because transport services connect the towns. Use the official postcode search or the office named in a DWP letter before travelling to another location.
